To keep it simple I will switch to English and I hope like this also my Spanish and other not German speaking friends can follow 
My first station was Chile I already mentioned it in my last blog entry. In Santiago we could stay with some friends Stefi made in Colombia and this was quiet a nice start for me! From their home we did small trips to the surrounding villages, one of the highlights was surely Valparaiso whit his funny elevators to the upper part of the city.
I don’t know what I really expected, but from the beginning on I felt comfortable and there where no cultural problems or other surprises. Of course speaking Spanish maid it all easier
